Abstract
Introduction
Resistance to β-lactams has risen globally among Bacteroides species. Consequently, delafloxacin has emerged as a therapeutic alternative against these microorganisms. The main objective of this study is to analyse the MIC of delafloxacin in Bacteroides spp. isolates and compare it with commonly used anaerobic antimicrobial agents.
Method
The susceptibility of delafloxacin and other anaerobic antibiotics was assessed in 370 isolates of the genus Bacteroides and MIC50 and MIC90 values were determined for all antibiotics.
Results
In Bacteroides spp. and the Bacteroides fragilissensu stricto group the MIC50 values for delafloxacin were lower than those of other antibiotics, except for tigecycline and metronidazole.
Conclusion
Given the potent in vitro anaerobic activity and its broad spectrum, delafloxacin may represent a favourable alternative in the treatment of mixed bacterial infections, particularly those involving multidrug-resistant strains.
期刊介绍:
Hoy está universalmente reconocida la renovada y creciente importancia de la patología infecciosa: aparición de nuevos agentes patógenos, de cepas resistentes, de procesos con expresión clínica hasta ahora desconocida, de cuadros de una gran complejidad. Paralelamente, la Microbiología y la Infectología Clínicas han experimentado un gran desarrollo como respuesta al reto planteado por la actual patología infecciosa. Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española SEIMC. Cumple con la garantía científica de esta Sociedad, la doble función de difundir trabajos de investigación, tanto clínicos como microbiológicos, referidos a la patología infecciosa, y contribuye a la formación continuada de los interesados en aquella patología mediante artículos orientados a ese fin y elaborados por autores de la mayor calificación invitados por la revista.
